Livin' On the Edge of the Night

You went off the river Smoke stacks fade to blind This town's my own, ridin' free and alone And I'm looking back Maybe I know some people Maybe I break some rules But this is the street, I've got to compete Baby, I ain't no fool So I take a little bad with the good It ain't just black and white You've got to deal with the real Woo, living on the edge of the night Every wild desire Beckons from the dark I've made my bed, but I can't risk my head While I still swim with sharks Everyone needs something Sometimes they don't know why But so much good's been misunderstood In the blink of the eye So, I take a little bad with the good It still ain't just black and white You've got to deal with the real Woo, living on the edge of the night, woo You say that you don't like it Or maybe it's just my life So you live yours and I'll keep mine Rolling like a wheel through the city on the edge of the night And when the black rains down In this cold gray town I'll be waiting Waiting at the edge of the night Woo, living on the edge of the night Woo, living on the edge of the night, woo ooh
